Scientific Equipment for Sea Education Association's New Oceanographic Research Vessel

这个奖项授予马萨诸塞州法尔茅斯的海洋教育协会公司，将为海洋教育和研究提供仪器，用于目前正在建造的一艘新帆船上。SEA，Inc.在各种项目中向本科生、高中生和教师教授海洋科学实践课程，并在附近的伍兹霍尔海洋研究所为研究生提供迎新课程。这里提供的仪器是由海洋科学部和本科教育部共同支持的，是环境科学研究和教育相结合的一个很好的例子。将为船上使用购置的具体仪器包括一台声学多普勒海流剖面仪、一台遥控潜水器、一台用于部署海洋仪器的辅助绞车、一台用于在车站和拖船上垂直部署的CTD仪器、一个连续流动地表水分析系统、一个船上计算机网络、一套生物采样网和各种实验室仪器和显微镜系统，以及其他仪器。SEA还用非联邦资金提供大量的仪器设备，并支付建造这艘船的成本。伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的技术人员提供仪器维护方面的协助。这里支持的仪器将在2001年和未来几年帮助学生进行教育和研究。*

0087528JoyceThis award to Sea Education Association, Inc., of Falmouth, Massachusetts, will provide instrumentation for oceanographic education and research for use on a new sailing vessel presently under construction. SEA, Inc. teaches hands-on programs in ocean sciences to undergraduate students, high school students, and teachers in various programs, as well as orientation programs for graduate students at the nearby Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The instrumentation provided here is jointly supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences and the Division of Undergraduate Education, and is an excellent example of efforts to integrate research and education in environmental sciences. Specific instrumentation to be acquired for shipboard use includes an acoustic doppler current profiler, a remotely operated vehicle, an auxiliary winch for deploying oceanographic instrumentation, CTD instrumentation for both vertical deployment on station and towing, a continuous-flow surface water analysis system, an on-board computer network, a suite of biological sampling nets and a variety of laboratory instruments and microscope systems, as well as other instrumentation. SEA is providing substantial instrumentation with non-federal funds as well, as well as paying the costs to build the vessel. Assistance with instrument maintenance is provided by the technical staff at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The instrumentation supported here will assist students in education and research during 2001 and future years.***
